Homebrew Fensir Species Details

Fensirs' troll ancestry is barely apparent in their appearance. They retained the long limbs and a hint of green in their skin but otherwise resemble relatively small frost giants or large furless bugbears. The Fensir have retained some of their ancestor's regenerative ability and can recover from extraordinary injuries, regrow limbs and  if given enough time to recover, or even overcome a fatal injury to succeed in battle. Fensirs' are considered fearsome warriors, hunters and wayfinders because of their extreme resilience. Fensir legends claim that a group of trolls once banded together to take down an invading red dragon, and while the flames permanently robbed them of much of their ability to regenerate, the fensir clans were born from those surviving warriors.

Fensir can live up to 101 years.

Fensir Traits

As a fensir, you have the following racial traits.

Long-Limbed

When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.

Softened Troll Flesh

You still have some of the regenerative ability of your troll ancestors. So long as you are alive you have the ability to regenerate lost limbs or body parts over the course of a long rest. Additionally you can focus yourself to summon your regenerative ability in combat. As a bonus action you can roll a d10 and add your Constitution modifier and recover that much health. On each subsequent round you recover half that amount (rounded down) until you would gain 0 at which point this ability ends. This ability can be used in lieu of a death saving throw. You can use this ability twice before needing a short/long rest.

Darkvision

Accustomed to dense forests and darkened caves, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
